Monkey business?

Ain’t no monkey business but a photo of a monkey. Not a real monkey but a little cute soft toy monkey that Fitzand plays with. This photo taken with my Diana F+ camera, not only was one of those photos that won me a personalized Colette edition Diana F+ camera … but I was just informed thru email that it has been selected for a Colette exhibition soon. As I’m typing this, my darn slow lousy computer is crawling like never before because I’m sending a 10MB size file of his ‘monkey shot’ to Lomography for the exhibition purpose.

Guess I will not be able to make it to where the exhibition is to be held (can’t be in Singapore, I’m sure) but I’m really happy that such a crappy monkey shot can make it there. Hahahaha! Yeah, I know it ain’t a superb shot but hey … miracles happen!

I’m still waiting patiently (ok, I admit … eagerly) for the personalized Colette edition camera to arrive because it’s gonna bear the name FITZAND on it. My proudest moment ever!

    Here in Paris the Colette shop is quite famous for being the most hype, where you can find before everywehere else all the stuff that will be “in”… So yes it is a big thing, I hardly can believe I won this !

    I’m so curious about the other stories and picz…

  5. Fabyen, that’s great! Don’t forget to send me a link to the photos.

    I saw a Colette shop here but didn’t dare walk in. Haha. I’m damn sure stuffs in there are gonna cost a bomb, although it’s just a small outlet.

    I almost had to slap myself a million times when I got the email saying that I won. Mine was a crappy story and some lousy photos. Don’t faint when you see them in the book. 😛
